fb:user-status

Advanced Topics › Legacy FBML › fb:user-status
FBML has been deprecated. Starting June 1, 2012 FBML apps will no longer work as all FBML endpoints will be removed. If you are building a new application on Facebook.com, please implement your application using HTML, JavaScript and CSS. You can use our JavaScript SDK and Social Plugins to embedded many of the same social features available in FBML.

Returns the status of the user specified by uid. If there is a URL in the status that starts with either http or https, it can be formatted as a hyperlink.

If the viewing user doesn't have permission to see the user's status, an empty string is returned.

Note: This tag only returns the status, not the user's name, so it might be more useful to display the user's name along with the status.

Parameters

NameTypeDescription
uidint

The user ID of the user whose status you want to retrieve.

linkedbool

Indicates whether URLs in the status should be formatted as hyperlinks. Default value is true

Examples

If you're formatting the tag as FBML, you don't need to use a closing tag.

<fb:user-status uid="12345" linked="true"/>

If you're formatting the tag as XFBML for Facebook Connect, you must use a closing tag.

<fb:user-status uid="12345" linked="true"></fb:user-status>
